Understanding 9/11Buttress O'Kneel - The New Masters of the Universe
Audio With External Links Item Preview
Created in 2001, this depressingly truth-filled audiodocumentary focuses on the fiscal controllers of our modern lives. With agonising precision, Buttress explores the rise of today's corporate 'globalisation', and the unlimited acts of cruelty and genocide that this system seems willing to commit to maintain a stranglehold over third-world labour, and over first-world hearts and minds.
This documentary was completed a few days before the so-called 'terrorist attacks' of America's 9/11, when the world hadn't yet been distracted by the 'threat of terrorism', and was able to focus on the much more terrifying (and more genuine) threat of 'globalisation'. Of course, in the bloodbath that followed, 'globalisation' as a topic has all but vanished. Coincidence?
Cut together in Buttress's unique surrealist-plunderphnic dada-pop audiodocumentary style, this release is almost more relevant in 2012 than it was in 2001 - because now, this topic is all but forgotten.
featuring:
Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, John the Average Teen, Run DMC, John Pilger's "The New Rulers of the World", B'O'K's "Melbourne and the Enormous Crocodile", Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain", and Douglas Rushkoff's "The Merchants of Cool".
(note: the original documentary was designed to flow as one long track, but, due to the limitations of the mp3 format, this mp3 version of the album will be filled with tiny little annoying moments of silence at the start and end of each track. the perfectionist (and let's face it, there aren't many of you out there) can fix this irritating little fuckup by turning each track into wav files, and manually editing out the silence, and then burning the whole thing as a compact disc. a lot of trouble, yes, but, well, it's how the documentary was actually meant to be heard.)
